Now, there is an important point I want to address. You see, I wrote two possible routes for this fic. I am going to write both, one after the other, but I want to know which one you want to see first. They are:

1) The "White Rook" Route

2) The "Black Queen" Route

In the first Jin replaces Jaune at the head of Team JNPR. In the second, instead, Jin joins a team of OCs that are deeply connected with the events of the future in this AU (and thus aren't created solely to fill a slot if this is what you're worried about).

So I want you to vote which route you want to see. Like I said I will eventually write both, so just choose what you want to read first. Rest assured, your choice will not change what I have in store for you, it will merely change the way Jin and the rest of the cast will first meet it. The poll is in my profile.

An identical poll will be open on SpaceBattles account, I will consider the votes from both sites.

Lastly I leave you the (edited) profiles of the OCs (which creation was possible thanks to DragonXDelinquent, and so I give my thanks to him):

Grendel Brionac
Race: Half Human/Half "Horned Viper" Faunus
Appearance: Fate Extra CCC Lancer (Elizabeth Bathory)
Age: 17
Normal Theme: "Pride in Blood" (Solatorobo Soundtrack)
Battle Theme: "Get Down to Business" (Guilty Gear)
Story: a typical "princess" when not fighting, her actions do not seem to show pride but her non understanding of human society often makes it seen as so, she is best described as "a puppet with a crown". Born from two fighting maniac parents who gained everything they have by fighting she sees nothing wrong with solving her problems by duels or contests of strength. She cannot connect with others well and she is apathetic to some extremity but it is difficult to notice. Enrolled at Beacon due to the high tension between Faunus and Humans: since both her parents are famous on both sides a rather large target is painted on her back. Kidnapped, she escaped by slaughtering her kidnappers and went home a few days later covered in blood and guts. That situation caught Ozpin's attention and he asked her parents to enroll her. She's neutral towards the racism issue, not caring about humans or faunus at all even if they hate her.
Weapon: "El Megiddo", Halberd/Axe/Cannon hybrid (Kotori's Weapon from "Date a Live")
Semblance: "Dragon's Scales", her aura is specialized solely on defense, this makes her skin so hard that she can stop blades with her bare hands and come out unscratched even after the most powerful attack.

Emillia Trishula
Race: Human
Appearance: "Gishki Ariel" from "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Terminal - Raid of the Inverz!"
Age: 18
Normal Theme: "Starlight and the Passing Breeze" (Wild ARMS 4 OST)
Battle Theme: "The Whereabouts of Wit" (Blaze Union)
Story: an orphan from the Dragon Grimm incident (an entire city was destroyed overnight by an unknown Grimm) and a civil war between two wandering clans, she wandered from city to city, resorting to stealing in order to survive. Similar to Jin she possesses extreme survival instincts that lead her to learn Dust Arts and specialize in barriers. She is cold and snarks at everyone, she is also a plunderer, often talks in RPG terms and has a 'to the victor goes the spoils' mania. She is deadly afraid of lightning and loud roars.
Weapon: "Zeikfried", a heavy shotgun/jousting spear hybrid, while it lacks versatility its Dust conversion rate outdoes many of the weapons of the current era (Zeikfried's weapon "GramZamber" from Wild Arms Alter Code F).
Semblance: "Doctor", her aura is capable of healing herself and others, it also allows her to become aware of the body's internal structure, included its weak points.

Name: Avance Gungnir
Race: Human (Dust Mutation)
Appearance: "Gishki Avance" from "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Terminal - Raid of the Inverz!"
Age: 19
Normal Theme: "Loneliness" (Wild Arms Alter F)
Battle Theme: "Ask the Wind where the Destination Lies" (Super Robot Wars)
Story: while he was still inside the womb his mother was exposed to massive amounts of dust. This caused a unique sickness: while forming Avance drained his mother of her life and when she gave birth to him she died 3 days later from being so weak. He was raised by the elder of the village, a veteran from the War, while his father did hunter work. One day other hunters delivered to Avance his father's weapons and merely told him he was dead. The hunters stayed at the village for a while, Avance pestered them for answers but never received any. It got to the point the more hot-tempered member of the group hit Avance: laying down with a bleeding forehead something happened and a massive amount of dust gathered around the hunters, attacking and killing them. The next day Avance left the village and wandered the world, eventually arriving at the Academy. He has an aloof personality but not really cold, he is not antisocial it's just that he barely held long conversations all over the years and is more used to being ordered around like a mercenary. Prone to high levels of bloodlust in heated battles.
Weapon: Multiple. The first is "Danretsu no Menzaifu", a mysterious red sword someone left to Avance as a gift, damaged heavily, it cannon be used. Many swords of all types stored inside a specially made sheath. Revolver Gunblade "Vanishing Star" (from Dead Fantasy), it can both shoot bullets or use their Dust to increase the strength of his blows.
Dust Mutation: an unique condition yet to be explained. Avance's arms, his veins are visible and blue, constantly produce Non-Elemental Dust that he can use for self-reinforcement, to sharpen weapons and even to grow crystal and spikes over his arms.
Semblance: "Dust Manipulation", he can instantly crystallize Dust to form solid and durable forms. He mainly use it to create bullets for Vanishing Star and weapons out of Dust to shoot at his enemies.
